i feel like you missed the point why you (rightfully) would have been downvoted for HL. even if you're personally not supporting the game, you're still giving it (presumably) positive publicity, which is supporting the game
now you have a post celebrating that you could do that here, and ngl it's left me with a sour taste in my mouth
but hey, i guess you're right, i have to sit here and explain it instead of dropping a downvote on you and moving on with my life
LOL and it's recent, great, there are two posts on my front page that remind me that a famous franchise owner wants my dead, thanks
I remember when my sister disowned me. She was a huge Harry Potter fan growing up. When she heard that I started HRT she sent me vile text messages for months, quoting Rowling's then recent essay on trans people. I got to hear how disgusting I was from my own sister, parroting the words of JK Rowling.
She gives those who hate trans people validity, and spreads their message. I know how dangerous it is; I lost my sister in part because of her.
that's really tough to hear, thanks for sharing jellyfish. i hope time can heal some of your wounds, and i hope your sister is ashamed of this some day.
I'm so sorry for what happened, and I've deleted both posts (at least on Beehaw for the other one). I didn't think of it the way you and Fracture showed it to me and I'm thankful that you shared your insight.
That's really kind of you, thank you. I know never talking about Harry Potter isn't possible, even if I wish it was. Some of my friends are huge Harry Potter fans, I was too at one point; but we agreed just to try to avoid the subject when I'm around.
Having a place like Beehaw has been really nice, it's a place I can relax and let my guard down. I hope Lemmy adds the ability to hide posts, that's help a lot with stuff like this.
i didn't see it like that. I'm gonna delete that post, and I'm so sorry for that. Thank you. I understand that deleting it won't right my wrong, but I'm sincerely sorry.
Edit for a little note: I went to sleep after posting this, and I haven't checked Beehaw since. That's why I left it up for so long. Thank you though. Also, the post was a technical perspective on how the portals work in the game, not anything to do with it's content or the like. I haven't paid for the game either. So, I've deleted both posts and wanted to thank you for sharing this perspective.
hey, i appreciate you hearing me out and doing what you can. about it. that's all i can ask for
this is a valid perspective. what do other readers think? if beehaw had its' current activity in the height of HL's craze, how should that be handled here? i feel like this plays directly into beehaw's philosophy below from the Docs. mod input here would be really cool
